The OneTouch handle uses a plunger pin and ball mechanism similar to that employed by the quick release steering wheels in Formula 1 racing cars. To insert, simply squeeze the handle and place it into the winch. To remove, squeeze and remove it all in one motion. Both operations can be performed one-handed.

The mechanism employs two pins that automatically retract into the bi-square when the handle arm is squeezed. These pins extend when the handle arm is released, and provide a secure lock preventing the handle from being inadvertently knocked out of the winch. Insertion or removal of the handle is now achieved in one quick and easy operation instead of fumbling with traditional bi-square locks.

Ronstan Quick-Lock Winch Handles are available in two different grip models, standard and palm grip to ensure the best design for you whether racing or cruising. With forged construction and a anodized finish to prevent corrosion, it is one of the lightest quick release handle's on the market.

Ronstan developed the Quick-Lock handle with their patented auto locking mechanism which provides fast, easy, and secure insertion. The large and easy to locate release button extends up the length of the handle creating easy grab-and-release one-handed removal.

Available in two different sizes, the 8" (200 mm) handles are ideal for smaller boats with restricted space, and great in light air where speed is more important than power.

The 10" handle (250 mm) is the most common handle length for the majority of sailors, and provides a greater mechanical advantage, which is the basis on how winch power ratios are calculated.

Titan Floating Winch Handles have been carefully designed for the day sailor with simple but effective features to keep costs down. Manufactured from high grade injection molded glass nylon. The handle is made in two sections then ultrasonically welded creating a box section designed for strength and stiffness.

8" winch handle is compact, making it the right fit for lower loads or rapid action.

10" winch handle is larger for higher loads to produce the maximum power ratio for the winch.

Harken SpeedGrip handles are designed for the serious racer and effective in both light and heavy air conditions. The unique grip permits low-load fast cranking using the palm, and powerful two-handed grinding when loads are high. The low profile B8ASGLP is made for fast, one-handed cranking where speed is the concern, not power.

The 10" handle (254 mm) is the most comfortable handle length for most sailors - published winch power ratios are based on this length.

8" (203 mm) handles grind faster because they swing through a smaller circle, but power is reduced by 20% - these handles are ideal for smaller boats and light air where speed is more important than power.

All SpeedGrip handles are lock-in handles, which are easy to engage and release with a thumb switch.

From the designer of the OneTouch winch handle comes the Dax OneTouch Composite Winch Handle. Notice the wider grab bar for easier releases, and the higher arc for ease of operation. The winch insert is refined for smoother insert and removal.

Made with 50% long-strand fiber filled nylon which is extremely strong and stiff. All metal parts are either 6061-T6 high strength aluminum or 316 marine grade stainless steel. The PalmGrip was upgraded in 2008 to a slightly larger, stronger yet lighter (by 2.5oz) model.

Available in Standard or Palm Grip models. Both have a grip that spins on a dual race of Grade-1 Delrin ball bearings. The standard grip is designed to meet the needs of a cruising sailor, on boats where sail loads are not that high or in "pit" where you're grinding level or below the winch. The palm grip is designed for fast trimming with two hands or on boats with high loads, works well in fine trimming too.

The Selden Reversible Winch handle is used in conjunction with the Selden Reversible Winch. The backwind is operated with a push button located on the top of the handle. The handle locks into position and can easily be released with a knob.

Now with a new Yellow trim color. Constructed of aluminum with ball bearing hand grips. Although very light, these handles are also extremely strong and have proven themselves on the water receiving rave reviews from the race course.
